Personal Finance, Travel, and Becoming Royalty with Jason Vitug, Part 1

ep-170

Jason Vitug and I have something in common.

We’re both Frugal.

But he spells his a little differently.

Jason is the founder and CEO of Phroogal.com, a site dedicated to educating people about personal finance, in a fun way.

In part 1 of this interview, Jason discusses his decision to leave a job that he loved and travel the world. And how that travel changed his life.

Check back tomorrow for Part 2 of this interview for more information on Phroogal and the difference between spending consciously and pinching pennies. Something that I’ve had to learn over the past couple of years!
